[Fedora-i18n-list] LANG=C for CJK locale on virtual consoles?
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 14 Apr '04

14 Apr '04

Hi, Whenever I use a virtual console (tty) I'm annoyed by the white boxes that appear instead of Japanese text from error messages or output, before remembering to set LANG=C. Therefore I would like to propose falling back to LANG=C in interactive shells for languages with no font on the virtual console (vt) for FC3. Does this make sense? I can't think of anything that would break off hand, but would appreciate any comments or input for this. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=120819 Jens

[Fedora-i18n-list] [proposal] to split individual IM config out of xinitrc xinput script
by Jens-Ulrik Petersen 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

In order to improve the maintainability of the xinput script in xinitrc and to make adding new Input Methods (IMs) easier in the future, Akira Tagoh and I recently came up with the idea to split all the individual IM code out of xinput and put it into separate config scriptlets that would be owned and maintained by the individual IM packages. The idea is basically to replace all the IM specific code in xinput by something like this: lang_region=$(echo $tmplang | sed -e 's/\..*//') XINPUTDIR=/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d if [ -z "$XIM" ]; then if [ -r ${XINPUTDIR}/$(LANG) ]; then . ${XINPUTDIR}/$(LANG) elif [ -r ${XINPUTDIR}/$(lang_region) ]; then . ${XINPUTDIR}/$(lang_region) fi elif [ -r ${XINPUTDIR}/$(XIM) ]; then . ${XINPUTDIR}/$(XIM) fi where $XINPUTDIR would contain scriptlets installed with alternatives by the individual IM packages (htt, chinput, xcin, nabi, kinput2, skkinput, etc) and alternatives symlinks for each locale through /etc/alternatives to the default IM for it. For example: /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/hi_IN -> /etc/alternatives/xinput-hi_IN /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ja_JP -> /etc/alternatives/xinput-ja_JP /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/ko_KO -> /etc/alternatives/xinput-ko_KO /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/zh_CN -> /etc/alternatives/xinput-zh_CN /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/zh_TW -> /etc/alternatives/xinput-zh_TW [It is not sure whether it better to support symlinks for both ll_CC.ENCODING and ll_CC separately or not. Perhaps only ll_CC or even just ll is sufficient?] and then for example there would be symlinks like /etc/alternatives/xinput-hi_IN -> /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/htt /etc/alternatives/xinput-ja_JP -> /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/kinput2-canna /etc/alternatives/xinput-ko_KO -> /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/nabi /etc/alternatives/xinput-zh_CN -> /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/htt /etc/alternatives/xinput-zh_TW -> /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/xcin [For FC the default IM would actually be htt (if installed) for all these locale, but I just put in various IMs here to illustrate.] See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119785 for more details and comments. Unfortunately it is getting a bit late now for FC2, so this idea may have to wait for FC3. The only weakness of this compared to the current xinput setup that I can think of is that it doesn't allow for any fallbacks: eg if htt is running use it otherwise use kinput2 with Canna say instead. But in practice people don't usually switch IM all the time, and the flexibility gained outweighs this small loss. Also users can still easily override the IM configuration by setting XIM (and optionally also XIM_PROG and XIM_ARGS) in their ~/.i18n" file or system-wide in "/etc/i18n". Comments and feedback on the scheme and design are most welcome. Cheers, Jens

[Fedora-i18n-list] Test feedback (GIMLET)
by Pete Zaitcev 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

Reporter: zaitcev(a)redhat.com Product and version number: Fedora 1 Desktop environment and version number: gtk2-2.2.4-5.1 Short description of observation: In Japanese mode, GIMLET is invisible in the task tray when switched to ASCII. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): iiimf-gtk-11.4-1.FC1.2 iiimf-le-canna-11.4-1.FC1.2 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enabled GIMLET in the task bar (Right Click on task bar, -> Add to Panel -> Utilities -> InputMethod Switcher) 2. Open GIMLET, add Japanese. Japanese appears in the menu now. There is nothing in the taks bar! It's the bug, but go on... 3. Focus on an application (gnome-terminal or gvim), click into GIMLET and switch it to Japanese. "A" kana appears, so you know where applet is. 4. Type Ctrl-SPACE to switch between kana and ASCII. When in ASCII, applet is invisible in the task bar. It is visible on mouse-over though. 5.

[Fedora-i18n-list] ps2pdf and Japanese fonts
by Michael Koch 05 Apr '04

05 Apr '04

Hi, I am experimenting with generating PDF files from PS which contain Japanese fonts using ps2pdf in Fedora Core 1. In the default setup, the resulting PDF file displays the Japanese characters, but the glyphs are embedded in the PDF file as bitmaps. This seems to be because VFLib is used for integrating Japanese TrueType fonts in Ghostscript, and it generates a font format for which ps2pdf does not support font outline embedding. An alternative I tried is using the CIDFnmap mechanism for integrating asian fonts in Ghostscript. It seems that the Fedora setup is already prepared for this, all I had to do was comment out the VFlib font entries in vflib/kconfig.ps and edit CIDFnmap so that the font configuration files for Japanese are included. With this setup, the glyphs are embedded in the PDF document as outlines, but unfortunately only if I use ps2pdf13. It seems that for older PDF versions, ps2pdf does not support font embedding for the generated font type and outputs a PDF document which contains garbled characters. What I would like to ask the list is if there are other configuration alternatives for font embedding in ps2pdf, and also if in future Fedora releases asian TrueType font integration should be done with the CIDFnmap mechanism instead of VFlib. Note that I have only tested with the Ghostscript demo ps file gscjk_aj.ps and PS files generated from Mozilla. I have not tested PS documents with characters from other asian languages. Michael

Are you using KDE? If you install the latest xinitrc from FC2devel htt won't be used for European languages. Alternatively as root if you do /sbin/chkconfig IIim off /sbin/service IIim stop and it will stop the htt server from running which should also stop iiim from being used in new X sessions. Hth, Jens
